"One man gets
nothing but discord out of a piano; another gets
harmony. No-one claims the piano is at fault."

"The piano
exists apart from the performer. You must coax it to
be a partner, and some pianos can be resistant. But
there are many ways to touch a piano, and if the
player invests the time, effort and the will to
love, the response of the instrument is absolutely
enormous."
